To determine the given Haworth structure as the a or the ß form. Concept Introduction : D- Fructose is a monosaccharide with the chemical formula C 6 H 1 2 O 6 . A Haworth structure is a common way to write the structural formula of a given monosaccharide in the cyclic form with a simple 3-D perspective. The beta position in case of D-Fructose refers to the projection of -OH group on the same side on carbon number 6. This further results in upwards projection of hydroxyl group present on carbon number 2. Alpha configuration, on the other hand can be observed when there is downward projection of hydroxyl group on carbon number 2.

The electron of a hydrogen atom is excited to the 4d orbital. Calculate the energy of the emitted photon if the electron were to move to each of the following orbitals: (a) 1s; (b) 2p; (c) 2s; (d) 4s. (e) Suppose the outermost electron of a potassium atom were excited to a 4d orbital and then moved to each of these same orbitals.

Imagine a four-dimensional world. In it, atoms would have one s orbital and four p orbitals in a given shell. (a) Describe the shape of the Periodic Table of the first 24 elements. (b) What elements would be the first two noble gases (use the names from our world that correspond to the atomic numbers).

The electron affinity of thulium was measured by a technique called laser photodetachment electron spectroscopy. In this technique, a gaseous beam of anions of an element is bombarded with photons from a laser. The photons knock electrons off some of the anions, and the energies of the emitted electrons are detected. The incident radiation had a wavelength of 1064 nm, and the emitted electrons had an energy of 0.137 eV. Although the analysis is more complicated, we can obtain an estimate of the electron affinity from the energy difference between the photons and the emitted electrons. What is the electron affinity of thulium in electron volts and in kilojoules per mole?
